Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya prank Rylan Clark for Children in Need
Timothée Chalamet and his Dune co-stars were seen pranking Rylan Clark during this year’s Children in Need on Friday.
The Oscar-nominated actor was set up with behind-the-scenes suggestions in an Impractical Jokers-style set-up during an interview with Zendaya, Jason Momoa and Anya Taylor-Joy about the third instalment of the film franchise.
This year’s Children in Need show also featured Radio 2 presenter Owain Wyn Evans and a “challenge squad” of young people completing feats in the name of charity.
The appeal raised almost £39 million to help children and young people across the UK.
The three-hour show was hosted live from Salford by Alex Jones, Mel Giedroyc, Rylan, Sara Cox and Tyler West.
They welcomed Wyn Evans, who has been the latest Radio 2 DJ to put himself through a gruelling challenge for Children In Need, following in the footsteps of the likes of Sara Cox and Paddy McGuinness.
Wyn Evans completed his 400-mile four-nation cycle ride through England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and his native Wales – finishing in Cardiff on Friday.
He raised more than £3.8m along the way.
Wyn Evans was joined on his final leg on Friday by 22-year-old Harri, who is living with hidden lasting effects of a brain tumour.
Harri is part of The One Show’s “challenge squad” – four young people who have signed up for a series of personal missions for the charity.
The others are 16-year-old Zoe, who has Down’s syndrome and who was seen dancing with the cast of High School Musical, Ana, also 16, who has a rare physical condition and is doing a three-day kayaking challenge, and 22-year-old Serena, who performed live in memory of her late brother and a childhood friend.
The theme of this year’s Children in Need is Challenge Yourself 2026, which has also seen Morning Live presenters Michelle Ackerley and Gethin Jones learn instruments.
Joe Wicks and Emma Bunton are among the other stars who have been involved, while landmarks including the Blackpool Tower, London Eye and Titanic Belfast were lit in yellow for the occasion.
Children in Need supports more than 1,600 local charities and projects across the UK.
